@apkley Love the green accents.  Sharp package.

I would say that is pretty good.  Do you notice much drag (aero), or mostly just the weight?

[LSaupe]

Gerald, are yours screened as well?

Nicely done.  Now that you have had them a few years, how have they held up for you and are you still happy with the location?

Interesting looking at your pic. Your rear shackle, any chance it can bolted to the rear hole, vice what look’s like a V shaped extender piece?  (just remove the extender)?

Some additional info here on over vs underslung.

I have pulled similar trailers with 12″ and 8″ rims forever.  Usually a bit heavier loaded in fact.  Single place snowmobile trailers with 12″ and 8″ and also boat trailers with 12″and 8″ .  All held up fine (to include several cross country trips). Obviously your axle bearings are spinning faster than a larger diameter, but I never had an issue, either with bearing problems or excessive tire wear.

Quick question, why would varnish be preferred over say clear-coat paint (DuPont or similar) system?
